"They can work non-combat roles away from the front.

Hey wait a minute, that's true. During the Second World War, when the husbands, brothers and boyfriends went off to war, it was the women who went to work in the factories building the ships, bombers, munitions and meals that supplied the troops. Without their efforts the troops would have had nothing to eat or to fight with. I've seen pictures of hundreds of women in the old Boeing factory building one plane a day. Their efforts were vital in winning the war.

One plane a day? You might want to look up he real numbers. It was much bigger that that.
